Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Nintendo 3DS Game

STORY

One day in the Mushroom Kingdom, a letter arrives from a mysterious Dr Snoozemore, inviting Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach to Pi'illo Island. A free holiday, being offered to our heroes by a complete stranger? What could possibly go wrong?

Soon enough, the gang arrive on Pi'illo Island, although strangely, there's no appearance from the elusive Dr Snoozemore. While sightseeing, the gang discovers that Luigi has a special talent. When he sleeps on a stone pillow from the island, a magical portal to the dream world appears! Unfortunately, Princess Peach is abruptly sucked into this dream world by an unknown assailant...

It turns out that the stone pillows are actually trapped Pi'illo folk, who were encased in their stony prisons by the evil Bat King, Antasma. Mario must now navigate his way between the dream world and the real world, rescuing the Pi'illo folk and hopefully finding Peach in the process. It's his toughest challenge yet - can Mario save Peach?

CHARACTERS

Mario

If there's one thing Mario loves more than beating Bowser, it's going on holiday! An invitation to visit Pi'illo Island seems like too good an opportunity to pass up, but Mario's soon called upon to do what he does best: save the day!

Luigi

Everyone's favorite green hero just barely makes it along for the ride to Pi'illo Island. Thank goodness he came though... without his fantastic ability to fall asleep at the drop of a hat, Mario wouldn't be able to visit the dream world!

Princess Peach

It wouldn't be a real adventure for Mario and Luigi if Princess Peach didn't end up in trouble! Try as she might to enjoy the trip to Pi'illo Island, she's soon kidnapped by a mysterious force and taken to the dream world.

Starlow

Mario and Luigi meet up with their former companion soon after they arrive on Pi'illo Island. When the pair are in the real world, Starlow spends her time giving advice and helping the brothers out whenever they're in a jam.

Prince Dreambert

Prince Dreambert is the prince of the Pi'illo folk! It's not long before he enlists Mario and Luigi's help to save his his people from a stony fate!

Bowser

It wouldn't be the same without Bowser, so it's a good job he turns up to Pi'illo Island too - even if he is uninvited! Wonder what he's got planned this time?

Antasma

The evil bat king was once trapped in the dream world by the Pi'illo folk but used the last of his power to seal them away in stone. Now he's back and ready to wreak revenge on those who sealed him away for all time!

GAMEPLAY

Exploring Together

Mario and Luigi adventures aren't like other Mario games – once the pair are reunited on Pi'illo Island, you'll have to control both brothers at once! Moving the pair around is easy, as they stick together as a team, but when you want to jump across gaps or up onto ledges, you'll have to use the A and B Buttons to make Mario and Luigi jump respectively.

You've Got the Moves

Jumping is just one of the many talents that Mario and Luigi learn on their travels around Pi'illo Island. Soon enough, you'll discover a pair of Hammers that let the brothers bash away on rocks, switches and all kinds of monsters, again controlled with the A and B Button for Mario and Luigi respectively. Next comes the Mole Mario move, the Small Mario move and many more moves besides!

To the Dream World!

Whenever you discover a mystical stone pillow around Pi'illo Island, Luigi can use it to create a portal that allows Mario to enter the dream world. These stone pillows are actually members of the lost Pi'illo folk, but they won't go back to being themselves until you rescue their soul from the dream world... be sure to rescue as many of them as you can, as you'll be rewarded for it!

Features

In the game, Mario and his friends are visiting an island for some relaxation and sight-seeing. Princess Peach is kidnapped and pulled into a dream world, and the only way to access it is when Luigi sleeps on special pillows with magical powers.

Mario must travel back and forth between Luigi's dreams and the real world in order to rescue Peach. Players will interact with sleeping Luigi on the 3DS touchscreen in order to solve puzzles, as well as use groups of Luigi clones to navigate landscapes and destroy enemies. In the real world, Mario and Luigi must team up to take down baddies using familiar powers from previous Mario titles.

Rating: 5/5Nintendo Played it Safe

Pros: Nintendo's first party spin on the RPG with one of the greatest IPs in the world. If this is your first title in the series you're sure to have a blast.

While some criticize the plethora of tutorials availed in this title, I think they are great to lessen the learning curve to widen the audience.

Cons: Nintendo played it pretty safe with this title. When the first title in the series came along, it was a revolutionary spin on the genre. However, they've done little to innovate the series and this 4th installment is largely a rehash of the same mechanics of the past. Though, this title has a different story and setting.
